Nothing to do with the band The Script. Thankfully.
What a lovely sign, with a sensational view of Cleveland behind it. It's a must stop for all tourists and even returning tourists such as ourselves, who come here every time.
Located in Edgewater Park. Not to be confused with The Edge Water, which is a brand of bottled "agua" that is owned and promoted by U2's lead guitarist.
This is a spectacular park with the timeless skyline of the city of Cleveland as the beautiful backdrop. It includes beaches and hills and wooded areas and it's one of the most amazing places in the entire state of Ohio in my opinion.
I love the skyline of Cleveland in the background of course, it's the highlight of the park, along with the lettering they put up not too long ago to say Cleveland, and although it gets a little creepy here at night and very cold here in winter, it's still probably my favourite destination in town.
Edging can be fun, but it's difficult depending on who you're with (hardest of all with Barbi), or which material you're viewing (Khloe Kay and Marissa Minx and Natalie Mars and Chanel Santini and Aletta Ocean for example). If it goes wrong, you'll get a bunch of premature "Edgewater."
As for food:
NE Ohio is a whole world unto itself, it's a region, a destination, a little country that has little in common with the rest of Ohio. It's not nearly as Midwestern as other parts.
My favourite thing is that the food here is phenomenal. While Pitt is a more gorgeous city (than almost any other), and has some food gems, Cleveland has more "must try" spots than Pitt, Columbus, Cinci, Detroit and Toledo put together. Bold claim, I know, but there are just so many things in Cleveland that you need to, need to, need to eat. And yes I'm going to tell you what they are.
And if you prefer a more spicy kind of city, then I suggest going to Cloveland instead.
They have some amazing options - very few of them healthy - but all of them delicious, and some among the very best in the country.

While it is way too cold up here on the Lakeshore for me to ever seriously contemplate living here, I have met some wonderful lifelong friends and some very beautiful and very fun and sexy girls here. So lots of good times and Cleveland, and it still remains one of the top US food destinations for me.
